Sam and I developed a very special bond over the next years.   ‎ At one point, my husband and I decided to move to a new home in New Jersey. Our neighbor, whose cat had recently had kittens, asked if we would like one. We were a little apprehensive about Sam’s jealousy and how he would handle his turf（地盘）being invaded, but we decided to risk it. ‎ We picked a little, gray, playful ball of fur. She raced around chasing imaginary mice and squirrels and jumped from table to chair in the blink of an eye, so we named her Lightning.   ‎ At first, Sam and Lightning were very cautious with each other and kept their distance. But slowly, Lightning started following Sam — up the stairs, down the - 15 -‎ ‎ stairs, into the kitchen. Later, when they slept, it was always together; when they ate, it was always next to each other. When I took either one out, the other was always waiting by the door when we returned. That was the way it was for years.    ‎ Then, without any warning, Sam was diagnosed as having a weak heart. I had no other choice but to have him put down. The pain was nothing compared with what I experienced when I had to walk into our house alone. This time, there was no Sam for Lightning to greet and no way to explain why she would never see her friend again.   ‎ In the following days, Lightning seemed heart-broken. I could see the disappointment in her eyes whenever anyone opened the front door, or the hope whenever she heard a dog bark. ‎ One day as I walked into our living room, I happened to see Lightning was lying next to the sculptured replica（复制品）of Sam that we had bought a few years ago, one arm wrapped around the statue’s neck, contentedly sleeping with her best friend. ‎ ‎24. What does the underlined word “apprehensive” in paragraph 2 mean? ‎ A. Shocked.      B. Curious.        C. Worried.      D. Eager. ‎ ‎25. How did Sam get along with Lightning at first? ‎ A. Lightning followed Sam everywhere it went. ‎ B. They fought with each other fiercely. ‎ C. They kept a certain distance from each other.     ‎ D. Sam was unfriendly to Lightning.‎ ‎26. What can we infer from the text? ‎ A. Lightning knew Sam had died. ‎ B. Sam means a lot to Lightning. ‎ C. We took Lightning home to accompany Sam.   ‎ D. Sam came back to stay with Lightning again. ‎ ‎27. What can be the best title of the text? ‎ A. The Friendship between Sam and Lightning  ‎ B. The Coming of Sam and Lightning   ‎ - 15 -‎ C. The Death of Sam to Lightning        ‎ D. The Importance of Sam to Us ‎ C Every week in China, millions of people will sit in front of their TVs watching teenagers compete for the title Character Hero, which is a Chinese-style spelling bee (拼写大赛). In this challenge, young competitors must write Chinese characters by hand. To prepare for the competition, the competitors usually spend months studying dictionaries.‎ Perhaps the show’s popularity should not be a surprise. Along with gunpowder and paper, many Chinese people consider the creation of Chinese calligraphy (书法) to be one of their primary contributions to civilization. Unfortunately, all over the country, Chinese people are forgetting how to write their own language without computerized help. Software on smart phones and computers allows users to type in the basic sound of the word using the Latin alphabet. The correct character is chosen from a list. The result? It’s possible to recognize characters without remembering how to write them.‎ But there’s still hope for the paint brush. China’s Education Ministry wants children to spend more time learning how to write.‎ In one Beijing primary school we visited, students practice calligraphy every day inside a specially decorated classroom with traditional Chinese paintings hanging on the walls. Soft music plays as a group of six-year-olds dip brush pens into black ink. They look up at the blackboard often to study their teacher’s examples before carefully attempting to reproduce those characters on thin rice paper. “If adults can survive without using handwriting, why bother to teach it now?” we ask the calligraphy teacher, Shen Bin, “The ability to write characters is part of Chinese tradition and culture,” she reasons. “Students must learn now so they don’t forget when they grow up.” says the teacher.‎ ‎28. What can we learn about the Character Hero? ________‎ A. It’s the most-viewed TV programs in China. ‎ B. It’s open to people of all ages and all walks.‎ - 15 -‎ C. It draws great public attention across the country. ‎ D. It aims to spread Chinese culture to the world.‎ ‎29. Why are Chinese people forgetting how to write the characters?‎ A. Chinese people are using the Latin alphabet instead of the characters.‎ B. Chinese people no longer use brush pens or practice calligraphy.‎ C. Chinese people needn’t write by hand as often with the help of technology.‎ D. Chinese people don’t refer to dictionaries very often.‎ ‎30. According to Shen Bin, being able to write characters by hand is ________.‎ A. helpful to keep Chinese tradition and culture alive ‎ B. a requirement made by the Education Ministry C. necessary for adults to survive in China ‎ D. an ability to be developed only when you are students ‎31. Where does this text probably come from? ________‎ A. A science report. B. A news report. ‎ C. Children’s literature. D. An advertisement.‎ D Amazon sells 1,161 kinds of toilet brushes. I know this because I recently spent an evening trying to choose one of them for the bathroom in my new apartment. Nearly an hour later, after having read countless contradictory (矛盾的) reviews and considering far too many choices, I felt tired and simply gave up. The next day, I happily bought the only toilet brush the local dollar store offered.‎ Too many choices exhaust us, make us unhappy and lead us to sometimes flee from making a decision altogether. Researcher Barry Schwartz calls this “choice overload”. And it’s not just insignificant details like which brush to wipe the inside of the toilet with — having too many choices in our creative and professional lives can lead us to avoid making important decisions.‎ Understanding how and why we make decisions can perhaps help us make better choices down the line. We make poorer decisions when we are tired. It’s caused by decision fatigue (疲劳). The mind can only sort through so many choices and make so many choices before it starts to run out of steam. That’s why impulse - 15 -‎ ‎ buys like candy bars and magazines at the checkout aisle in the grocery store can be hard to resist. We’ve exhausted all our good decision-making skills.‎ The same goes for our workday. Making lots of decisions not only exhausts us; it can put us in a bad mood. That’s why it’s necessary to make your most important decisions in the morning rather than at the end of an exhausting day when your energy has been used up. The idiom “sleep on it” is indeed effective when it comes to making big decisions.‎ When we’re tired, we tend to conserve our energy by making choices based on a single factor like price, rather than considering all the other determinants that go into making the best decision. When you’re doing this, you are acting as what researchers call a cognitive miser (小气鬼).‎ To conclude, letting yourself have fewer choices to choose from can help you arrive at a more creative answer.‎ ‎32.Why did the author go to the local dollar store in the end?‎ A. She saw no good toilet brushes in Amazon. B.She had got tired of the choices.‎ C.She read good reviews about brushes there. D.She wanted to save some money.‎ ‎33.What can we learn about“choice overload”?‎ A. It can benefit our creative thinking. ‎ B. It means learning too much at a time.‎ C. It was first discovered by Barry Schwartz.‎ D. It can stop us from making good decisions at work.‎ ‎34.What does the underlined idiom “sleep on it” in Paragraph 4 mean?‎ A. To make a big decision regardless of sleepiness. ‎ B.To make decisions at the end of the day.‎ C.To think carelessly about making a big decision. ‎ D.To put off making big decisions until the next day when you are not tired.‎ ‎35.What is the text mainly about?‎ A.Having fewer choices may benefit us more. ‎ - 15 -‎ B.Reading reviews before shopping online is important.‎ C.Getting enough sleep every day is helpful. ‎ D.Considering many factors to make a choice is unnecessary.‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Sleeping well is important to your physical and mental health. However, you might not be able to control the factors that affect your sleep. Here are some habits you can adopt to encourage better sleep. Stick to a sleep schedule. 36.________.
